Our Board
Most of the NY State Tenants & Neighbors Coalition Board members live in regulated, subsidized, or formerly subsidized housing. Ten of the Board members are elected by the general membership at general membership meetings. People who stand for election to the Coalition Board typically have already made significant contributions to the organization through service on one of our Tenant Leadership Committees. The other five Board members, mostly staff of allied organizations, are appointed by the elected Board members.
